WELCOME TO PROSPECT BREWERY

Founded in 2007, Prospect Brewery is now one of the North West's leading independent real ale brewers.

2017 see the start of a new and exciting chapter in our history with the move from Standish, our home for the last 10 years, to our new larger brewery in Wigan Town Centre.

We continue to have strong links to the towns mining heritage and the names of our beers are closely linked with this history and culture of the town.

Our mission, quite simply, is to bring you imaginative but traditional real ales brewed using just four simple ingredients: barley, whole hops, yeast and water.

Our range of 14 real ales, many of them award winners, are brewed to suit all tastes from the light golden beer of Silver Tally to the delicious dark mild of Nutty Slack and onto the dark stout of Big John.

Our beers are available on draft in over 100 pubs across the North West and beyond. Supplied to the licensed trade in 72 pint casks and 500ml bottles.
